OT Opportunities

 

The precinct is hiring fourteen officer to work OT

for The World Naked Bike Ride on Saturday.

 

I didn't volunteer.

It's not a pretty sight.

 

 

New Gear

 

Last night, the shift was given

green doored taser cartridges.

They have greater range

and  longer probes.

 

 

T-Stop of the Night

 

Tonight, I stopped a woman

for driving with her take out

on top of her car.

 

She thanked me.

 

 

If

 

If you're caught sittin' on a pipe,

don't tell the officer it's not yours,

and you know nothin' about it.

Court

 

 

On Thursday, at traffic court, six of the fifteen lights in the gallery were burnt out.

 

 

At Court

 

At traffic court, a man plead to driving with an open container.

 

The Judge asked, "Why did you do it?"

 

The man said, "I forgot it was there."

 

"What was it?"

 

"Beer, a quarter of a can."

 

"Where was it?"

 

"On the dashboard."

 

"I see on your record you have been convicted

of three DUIIs and are on probation for DUII.

 

"Yes, but I wasn't drinking and driving."

 

The Judge orders he attend a Victims Panel.

He's already been to three. 

 

 

Court

 

I have court today. 

I have court scheduled for tomorrow. 

I hope tomorrow is a plea or a set over,

so I can volunteer

at my childrens' school for field day.

 

Shin Kicking

 

I took a stolen tonight.

The owner, Vietnamese,

five-two, fifty, and thin,

said, "Officer, when you find him,

you let me kick him in shin? "

 

He smiled.

 

His friend looked at me and said,

"No! You have the officer

kick him in the shin."

 

The car's owner's eyes grew big,

and said, "Oh, yes, much better!

You kick him in shin!"

 

I just nodded and stifled a grin.

The Nature of Need

 

Astro’s hat, dark gray hoodie

with orange bold print, orange

Chuck Taylor’s: all Hoovers kit.

 

He’s fifteen, a buck

ten: more boy than man.

 

His crew flashed a gun at a beef,

and so he’s at the end 

of my Trijicons, waiting

to be taken into custody,

and I will shoot him, 

if it’s needed.
